SpiderBasic

I looked through some historical posts, and it is not clear how to store binary images for later use in SpiderBasic.
Is the DataSection the right place to store images?

Ha! Didn't know that?
So, if I can store the bytes of an image in my DataSection, I forget how to retrieve that into an image.
Would that be blocked in browser?

Yeah, I get that, but I thought SpiderBasic would compile the image into the safe browser space?
Do I have to put the image in a DataSection and CatchImage?

I was hoping to show an QR code image on a web page and use Google Authenticator to read the image.
Google Authenticator will not scan the image if I load it into a simple html page and view in a chrome tab.
It only fires up with a web server page, so I thought to try it in SpiderBasic.

But now ...

+100 for a single forum.

I would love documentation that marries PB+webserver(windows and raspberryPI)+SB for a client-server demo.
Idle has made a very fine webserver.
The iOS and Android and raspberryPI build paths are also desirable.

Maybe a dedicated forum post for each?

Cool.
I installed SB v3 fresh and had to redo my preferences.
Now it's back to normal.
There is some double debug windowing when the browser takes over, but not a big deal.

Any chance to make the WebView window floatable.
It is annoying to use a splitter to see results and code.

If your clients are across the globe, you will need a server of some sort.
SQLite is not great for networked access.
Postgresql manages concurrency with a bit more startup complexity.

You can't go wrong prototyping with [PureBasic + SQLite] <--> SpiderBasic.
Once you have the business logic worked ...

I'm having trouble trying to understand the steps involved.
I tried; OpenDatabase(1,"c:\rbp101\projects\foodbank_project\data\fb.db") But get errors.
So how do I open the database..
Thanks for the help..

Did you try PureBasic?
